This entry represents a massive tonal and mechanical shift for a long running urban crime series, trading its traditional real time brawling for a deep, turn based RPG system. The story follows a fiercely loyal protagonist who spends eighteen years in prison to protect his clan, only to be betrayed and abandoned upon his release. Finding himself at rock bottom in a new city, he rebuilds his life from scratch with the help of a motley crew of outcasts. The gameplay is famously eccentric, blending gritty underworld drama with over the top, imaginative combat that treats street fights like a tabletop fantasy battle.
